San Francisco Improv Fest

August 16-20, 6pm to 12am
The San Francisco Improv Festival runs from August 16-20 at PianoFight and celebrates the best that improvisational theater has to offer in all its forms. Our thirteenth festival features improvisers from the house teams of major improv schools to independent, regional troupes and duos that kick major ass. Support your faves, take some risks, and throw down with us.
Highlights for 2017 include:
Liss n' Sams with #SorryNotSorry
(Thursday, August 17th, 9:00 PM Tickets &dollar;20 advance/&dollar;23 door)
#SorryNotSorry is a San Francisco based Harold ensemble featuring all women who aren't afraid of talking about politics or vaginas or how creepy old porcelain dolls are. Ya know, the truth. The duo Liss n' Sams takes the word of the day as a suggestion from the audience. From that word, they create a starter scene and before you know it you are smack in the middle of a fast paced show that does not end till the lights come down.
Orange Tuxedo with 850 FICO
